5 Jaguars to watch

5 Jaguars to watch

Troy Williamson (84)

wide receiver

Williamson (right) missed the preseason opener because of groin and hip flexor ailments, but he's expected to make his Jaguars debut tonight. He has speed and can catch the ball in practice. Now he must show that he can do it in games.

Mike Walker (81)

wide receiver

Sidelined last year while recovering from a knee injury he suffered while at Central Florida, Walker appears to be healthy and showed that he can get open when he caught two passes against Atlanta. But he also dropped two, one of which looked like a touchdown.

Brian Witherspoon (No. 38)

return specialist

An undrafted rookie from tiny Stillman College, Witherspoon (above, right) flashed impressive speed last weekend against the Atlanta Falcons while returning punts and kickoffs. The downside is that he lost a fumble. If Witherspoon is going to make the team, he can't afford any more fumbles this preseason.

Brian Williams (29)

safety

Williams (left) was sidelined in the opener and will make his debut at strong safety as the Jaguars get their first look at their new secondary in game conditions. Drayton Florence has taken Williams' old job at cornerback. In nickel situations, Williams will become the nickel back and Gerald Sensabaugh the safety. Now the Jaguars must show that all the changes will upgrade their secondary.

Matt Jones (18)

wide receiver

Jones led the Jaguars with three catches against the Falcons, but he also dropped a pass in the end zone. Coach Jack Del Rio said this week that Jones needs to show more grit and determination. Considering his off-field problems, he's fighting for a job.
